So, now that it's October, is Crowley awake yet???
If you can call it waking. I think he’s up enough to phone Aziraphale and ask if it’s all over yet? I do not think Aziraphale’s answer about how we aren’t actually in the official second lockdown yet, or the tone of voice in which it is delivered, followed by Aziraphale’s helpful explanations about the Rule of Six, Household Mixing, or pub opening times, did much to get Crowley out of bed. And he’d put down the phone with a sigh.
If this were the old days, Crowley probably thought, I’d have a commendation for the masks by now. A small, uncomfortable thing that human beings can do to keep other people and themselves safer, turned into a giant politicised shouty mess. Brilliant. Probably I’d have a plaque. But of course, they don’t need demons to come up with stuff like that. Hell is empty. All the demons are here...
And then, just a small, snakey snore.
